Probably to a nice big lake. That's where I'd go.

Two turtles got into an accident at an intersection.
The only eyewitness was a snail. The policeman asked the snail what exactly happened.
The snail replied - "I dont really know. It all happened so fast........."

One halloween, there was a knock at the door of the most miserable old guy in town. He opened the door to see a snail on his step. "Trick or treat!!!" said the snail. The grumpy old bugger shouted, "sod off, you stupid creature" and kicked the snail right across the road.
That Christmas, there was another knock at the door. "I hope it's not bloody carol singers" said the old guy, "I'll give 'em what for. the little..."...as he walked to the door. When he opened it, he was outraged to see the snail had returned. Rather than singing, the snail just asked "What did you do that for?"

Putting my detective glasses on, it looks like someone shot something in the water that then blew up.

When I lived in Tucson, I was looking out the front window during a storm, when a lightning bolt hit, right across the street in the desert. It was a huge flash and then an almost instant explosion. Scared the daylights out of me, I had never been so close.
I walked across the street and looked. The lightning bolt hit a barrel cactus, which probably weighed a couple of hundred pounds. The cactus was blown out of the ground and landed around 20 feet away, split in half and charred.
Tucson had fantastic lightning shows. We were lucky, as our view overlooked the city. We also could watch as a dust storm would come across the city from the southeast, a huge wall of brown which would suddenly hit like a hurricane, sandblasting everything.
As for George's video, that was amazing! I watched it a couple of times, expecting to see fish floating on the surface.

Seriously, Jon?
Well, OK. I suppose it could have been a cop that had hooked the taser up to a big generator. hmmmm. That gives me an idea I'd like to pursue.Seriously 2 -- it did seem like the lightning bolt was horizontal at ground level, but maybe that was just the viewable portion of the bolt as it hit ground and skimmed over the surface. Wait, I'm going to look again. What did it hit in the water, maybe a log (?)

Sigh...guess not: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lightning-striking-a-river/
When the video is slowed down, it is easy to tell that the “lightning” strike doesn’t come from the sky, but from a wire on the hill. Here’s a screenshot showing the moment of impact (which can be glimpsed at the 7-second mark in the video above):

I don't buy the explanation. And, George is a wet blanket. Next, he'll insist that UFO's aren't real.
OK. So, they decided to blow up a stump, using 10 times the explosive necessary? On the History Channel swamp people shows, they dive down and attach cables. But of course it could be, that there are no cables in Europe. And why would a cable, with a rubber sheath around it, look like lightning, hmmm?
It was God. Fishing.
